| Short Description |
On September 20-22, 1988, a receiving water study was conducted at the Spokane Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant on the Spokane River. The objectives were: 1) to characterize mixing of the effluent plume, and 2) to make recommendations for future mixing zone boundaries. Mixing was incomplete at 300 and 1,000 feet downstream of the discharge when dilution was 20:1. Mixing was complete below the riffle area 2,600 feet downstream. A mixing zone boundary is recommended at 300 feet, despite incomplete mixing. Reduced discharge limits are recommended for ammonia, total residual chlorine and fecal coliform bacteria. Further effluent temperature and metals sampling is recommended to refine discharge limits. | |||
